kpasswd - change a user's Kerberos password
kpasswd [
principal]
The kpasswd command is used to change a Kerberos principal's password. kpasswd
first prompts for the current Kerberos password, then prompts the user twice
for the new password, and the password is changed.
If the principal is governed by a policy that specifies the length and/or number
of character classes required in the new password, the new password must
conform to the policy. (The five character classes are lower case, upper case,
numbers, punctuation, and all other characters.)
- principal
- Change the password for the Kerberos principal principal.
Otherwise, kpasswd uses the principal name from an existing ccache if
there is one; if not, the principal is derived from the identity of the
user invoking the kpasswd command.
